Our story
At MARBLE PROJECTS, we proudly uphold the legacy of our late mother, Shirley Bryant, a visionary and compassionate leader who dedicated her life to helping others. The Marble Moves Scholarship Fund was established to honor her remarkable contributions and to empower Michigan high school and undergraduate students pursuing science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) programs in college.
About Shirley Bryant
Shirley’s professional journey began with General Motors in Flint, Michigan, before pivoting to the housing industry, where she focused on real estate and community planning. Over the following 26 years, she made an indelible mark at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, serving in Chicago and Philadelphia, before retiring in Los Angeles. Shirley was not just a professional but a mentor, advocate, and inspiration to those she supported.
Passion for Arts, Innovation, and Youth Empowerment
Shirley’s life was defined by a profound passion for the arts, innovation, and a commitment to nurturing the potential of young dreamers. She understood the transformative power of creativity and entrepreneurship, especially among youth. Through her guidance, she instilled the importance of determination and perseverance in the pursuit of one’s dreams.
Our goal
The mission of the Marble Moves Scholarship for Michigan high school and
undergraduate students pursuing STEAM programs is to carry forward our mother’s legacy by providing financial support to talented and ambitious students. We aim to create opportunities for those who share her and our passion for the arts, innovation, and STEAM fields, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their ambitions.
Guiding Principles
1. Encouraging Excellence: We believe in fostering a culture of excellence, just as our parents did. This scholarship seeks to recognize and support high school students who demonstrate exceptional dedication and promise in their chosen STEAM fields.
2. Empowering Creativity: Marble's commitment to the arts and innovation is
reflected in our mission. We aim to empower creative minds by providing the
financial means to pursue higher education in STEAM disciplines.
3. Supporting Future Entrepreneurs: Recognizing the challenges of forging one’s own path, the scholarship is dedicated to supporting future entrepreneurs. We encourage applicants who embody the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship.
4. Cultural Representation and Equity: We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion. This scholarship welcomes applications from students of all backgrounds, fostering an inclusive community that reflects Michigan’s rich tapestry of talents.
By supporting the Marble Moves Scholarship, donors contribute to shaping the future of Michigan’s STEAM landscape and honoring Shirley Bryant’s enduring legacy.
Together, we inspire the next generation of leaders, creatives, and innovators — let’s make moves.
